not_o grey_a hair_n or_o furrow_n in_o the_o face_n but_o prudence_n and_o wisdom_n that_o make_v man_n venerable_a when_o they_o be_v old_a neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o unseemly_a than_o a_o old_a man_n to_o live_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o if_o he_o begin_v but_o then_o to_o live_v which_o cause_v aristotle_n to_o say_v that_o it_o import_v little_a whether_o a_o man_n be_v young_a of_o year_n or_o of_o behaviour_n nevertheless_o because_o daily_a experience_n teach_v we_o that_o year_n common_o bring_v wisdom_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o affair_n that_o have_v pass_v through_o old_a man_n hand_n and_o which_o they_o have_v see_v manage_v by_o other_o man_n and_o that_o common_o youth_n have_v need_n of_o a_o guide_n and_o director_n to_o take_v care_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o himself_o can_v see_v or_o discern_v therefore_o have_v law_n provide_v tutor_n for_o the_o age_n before_o mention_v until_o they_o have_v attain_v the_o

or_o else_o through_o extreme_a old_a age_n they_o become_v child_n again_o as_o sometime_o it_o fall_v out_o knowledge_n then_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v a_o man_n meet_v to_o govern_v himself_o and_o the_o same_o be_v attain_v but_o by_o long_a study_n and_o practice_v wise_a man_n have_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o youth_n can_v be_v prudent_a for_o indeed_o the_o variety_n of_o humane_a action_n by_o which_o from_o many_o particular_a accident_n a_o universal_a rule_n must_v be_v gather_v because_o as_o aristotle_n say_v the_o knowledge_n of_o universality_n spring_v from_o singularity_n make_v knowledge_n so_o hard_o to_o be_v get_v that_o many_o year_n be_v require_v thereunto_o and_o from_o this_o reason_n be_v it_o also_o conclude_v that_o humane_a felicity_n can_v be_v attain_v in_o young_a year_n since_o by_o the_o definition_n thereof_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a operation_n according_a to_o virtue_n in_o a_o perfect_a life_n which_o perfection_n of_o life_n

he_o to_o the_o same_o as_o the_o most_o perfect_a end_n and_o scope_n of_o all_o his_o action_n and_o this_o by_o consider_v well_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n which_o have_v annex_v unto_o it_o a_o

to_o see_v the_o ready_a way_n which_o lead_v to_o felicity_n to_o this_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o so_o necessary_a for_o the_o purchase_n of_o humane_a felicity_n be_v philosophy_n a_o singular_a

that_o the_o say_v brachmani_n herein_o show_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n that_o aristotle_n teach_v which_o be_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o make_v some_o trial_n of_o himself_o before_o he_o

for_o all_o man_n be_v not_o apt_a for_o all_o thing_n neither_o be_v it_o enough_o that_o the_o teacher_n be_v ready_a to_o instruct_v and_o skilful_a but_o the_o learner_n must_v also_o be_v apt_a of_o nature_n to_o apprehend_v and_o conceive_v the_o instruction_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o be_v fit_a for_o every_o man_n to_o have_v before_o
